Description

  The present invention relates to a device for applying traction to a penis, the device comprising a base member, a glans holding member and a telescopic connecting member, and the present invention further relates to a telescopic device for applying traction to a penis. More particularly, the present invention relates to a holding member for a device for applying traction to a penis.

  Many devices are known in the field of devices for penis extension. Examples of such devices are disclosed in US 4,449,521 A and US 7,276,040 B2. A common problem with these devices is that they are attached to the penis and adjusted with respect to the distance between the base portion supporting the penis root and the portion that secures or supports the penis glans. However, it is difficult and / or difficult to handle.

  US 7,276,040 B2 discloses a device for applying traction to a penis, which has a number of separate parts, these parts having a variable length, It is screwed together to adjust the distance between the glans fixed part. This is cumbersome and fine tuning of the system is difficult. Many attempts and use of various parts must be made to make fine adjustments. Needless to say that the adjustment is not very accurate, the use will be very painful for the user, or there will be no effect of the use. Many parts must be available to obtain an accurate and useful adjustment. Such elongated parts can be lost more easily.

  U.S. Pat. No. 4,449,521 discloses a device for applying traction to a penis (to support the penis during sexual intercourse rather than to provide permanent stretch), in which two telescopic rods or A tube is used to adjust the distance between the base and the glans fixed part. The two rods / tubes are fixed at a desired distance from each other by means of fixing screws. This device may provide fine tuning. However, it is very disadvantageous that the user needs to use additional tools to adjust the device. Furthermore, there is a risk that a set screw that projects laterally from the rod / tube will scratch the user, otherwise cause discomfort to the user, or stick to clothing, for example. US 4,449,521 devices are covered with a flexible material to prevent damage to body tissue. In this way, the set screw must be manipulated through a flexible material, or the material must be worn on the pants and scratch the end, etc., so that the operation of the set screw is impeded. The Thus, an improved device for applying traction to the penis is advantageous, and in particular, a more efficient and / or reliable adjustment of the distance between the base and the fixing means is advantageous. .

The retaining member 20 comprises means 29 for securing or retaining the glans of the penis 100 by securing it around the shaft of the penis at a position immediately behind or adjacent to the glans 120, and the retaining member 20 comprises As will be described below, means are provided for connection to the base member via the connecting member 30. As shown in the accompanying drawings, the glans fixing means 29 is a resilient band, and is provided with a holding member via an opening 26 in the body portion 23 of the holding member 20 and a protrusion 27 that cooperates with the opening 26. 20, which is releasably fixed to the body part 23, this protrusion 27 preferably takes the form of a protrusion 27 oriented laterally on the elastic band constituting the glans fixing means 29. The glans fixation means may further comprise a handle 28 for relaxing adjustment of the glans fixation means 29 immediately behind the glans 120 of the user's penis.

  The device 1 further comprises at least one telescopic connection member 30 in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the two telescopic connection members 30 between the base member 10 and the holding member 20. The base member 10 and the retaining member 20 are spaced apart and provide traction to the penis 100 during use. The telescopic coupling member 30 is intended to be substantially parallel between the first proximal end 31 and the second distal end 32 and the elongated axis of the user's expanded penis 100 and in use. And a longitudinal axis A. The connecting member 30 is connected to the base member 10 via joint joints 11 and 12 formed on the base member 10 and an arm 35 at the proximal end 31 of the connecting member 30.

  The connecting member 30 includes a first tube portion 40 and a second tube portion 50. The first tube portion 40 has a proximal end 41 and a distal end 42. Similarly, the second tube portion 50 has a proximal end 51 and a distal end 52. The second tube portion is hollow and has an inner side wall 54 and an outer side wall 56.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the proximal end of the first tube portion 40 is connected to the base member 10 by an arm 35 via joint joints 11 and 12. The distal end 41 of the first tube portion is connected to the proximal end 51 of the second tube portion 50, and the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 are slidable in a telescopic manner. Are engaged with each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the first tube portion 40 is slidably disposed on the second tube portion 50. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 are rotatably engaged with each other. In this way, the length of the connecting member can be adjusted. A method of fixing the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 at desired positions will be described below.

  The distal end 52 of the second tube portion 50 can be connected to the holding member 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the distal end 52 of the second tube portion 50 is closed with a plug 53. However, this is optional. In other embodiments, the distal end may be open or formed as a closed end (not shown).

  The first spring 60 is connected to and extends from the distal end 42 of the first tube portion 40. The first spring 60 can be compressed in the radial direction, that is, can be compressed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the telescopic connecting member 30. The first spring 60 extends distally from the first tube portion 40 and into the second tube portion 50 and is slidable into the second tube portion in the manner described in detail below. Adapted to be arranged rotatably. The first spring 60 is fixed against rotation with respect to the first tube portion 40. On the other hand, the first spring 40 is slidably connected to the first tube portion 40 via the second spring 70, and preferably biases in the distal direction along the longitudinal axis A. While this is the case in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-10, it may be a freely selectable feature in other embodiments.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the first spring 60 has a body portion 61 and a U-shaped portion, which has a pair of elastic arms 63 and 64. The body part forms a connection to the first tube part 40. The pair of first engaging means 65, 65 ′ is preferably formed in the shape of a hump or a protrusion and is formed at the end of the arms 63, 64, and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction A of the connecting arm 30. Extend. The first plurality of second engaging means 55 in the form of holes is formed in a line shape on one side of the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50, and the holes cooperate with the humps. The first engagement means 65 is formed on the arm 63. The second plurality of holes 55 ′ are formed in a line shape on the other side of the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50 across the radial direction (on the opposite side) from the first plurality of holes 55, The hole is suitable for cooperating with the hump and forms a first engagement means 65 ′ on the arm 64.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the second engaging means 55 and 55 ′ are seven sets of holes formed to face each other on the second tube member 50. In other embodiments, there may be more or less holes depending on the length of the second tube portion 50 and the desired accuracy of adjustment. The device may also include different sets of second tubes 50 of different lengths.

  The U-shaped part of the first spring 60 biases the elastic arms 63, 64, and as a result, faces the inner side wall 54 of the second tube 50 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. And a set of second engaging means 55 and 55 ′ formed in the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50.

  The holes forming the second engagement means 55, 55 'penetrate in the preferred embodiment from the inner side wall 54 to the outer side wall 56 of the second tube 50, as shown in FIGS. It is formed as a hole. In other embodiments (not shown), the holes may be formed as depressions in the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50. In another embodiment (not shown), the second engaging means 55, 55 ′ may be formed as a hump or protrusion formed on the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50, In that case, the first engaging means 65, 65 ′ may be formed as a hole on the first spring 60.

  Thus, the length of the connecting member 30 is adjusted by sliding the first tube portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50. The elasticity of the first spring 60 (ie, the arms 63, 64) forces the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ to engage the set of second engagement means 55, 55 ′, and the first The first and second engaging means 65, 65 ′, 55, 55 ′ are aligned to releasably lock the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 against sliding relative to each other. The This locking relationship is the first portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50 with sufficient force to exceed the force provided by the elasticity of the arms 63, 64 of the first spring 60 and the friction between the hump and the hole. Is released by pulling, pushing, or twisting (rotating).

  In embodiments in which the second engagement means 55, 55 'is a through-hole, the locking relationship further extends, for example, through a hole / hole forming the second engagement means 55, 55'. By using an existing pointed tool, it may be released by pushing the hump engaging the hole.

  In the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the bumps forming the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ are formed on a curved or inclined surface 68 at the outermost tip of the hump. As a result, when the first tube portion 40 is moved with respect to the second tube portion 50, the movement of the hump (first engaging means 65) opposes the compression of the spring 60 and the longitudinal direction of the connecting member 30. It becomes easy in the direction orthogonal to the axis A, that is, in the inner direction.

  In another embodiment (not shown), the humps are arranged in the interior 54 of the second tube part 50 for cooperation with the holes of the first spring 6 and these humps provide an inclined surface. And / or the hole is provided with a curved or inclined surface.

  In another embodiment, the inclined surface 68 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the connecting member 30 so that the rotation of the first and second tube portions 40, 50 relative to each other is in the radial direction of the hump 65. The movement, that is, the movement in the inner direction in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis A of the connecting member 30 is facilitated. As a result, adjustment of the length of the connecting member 30 is provided as indicated by arrows B and C in FIGS. In FIG. 6, the 1st and 2nd tube parts 40 and 50 are in the position where the 2nd tube part 50 covers the 1st tube part 40, As a result, the connection member 30 is the shortest form. Forming the first engagement members 65, 65 'engages the most distal holes forming the second engagement means 55, 55', whereby the first and second The tube portions are releasably locked with respect to each other's slides. By rotating the second tube member 50 with respect to the first tube member 40 as indicated by arrow B, the hump of the first spring 60 is removed from engagement with the hole in the second tube portion 50. . This is facilitated by an inclined surface parallel to the axis A of the hump. As a result, as shown by the arrow C, the first and second tube portions 40 and 50 are slid along the axis A to adjust the length of the connecting member 30. In FIG. 7, the second tube portion 50 is slid relative to the first tube portion 40 with respect to the arrangement shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the hump of the spring 60 engages the second set of holes 55, 55 ′ when viewed from the proximal end 51 of the second tube portion 50. As a result, the connecting member 30 has been expanded in length.

  The holding member 20 comprises means for connection of the connecting member 30 to the second tube portion 50, which means is preferably the second tube portion 50 as shown in FIGS. It is in the form of sliced tube portions 21, 22 that are suitable for being clicked (clicked on). Thus, when the connecting member 30 is adjusted in length or distance between the base member 10 and the holding member 20, as a result, the distance between the root 110 of the penis 100 and the glans is kept constant. And placed under tension to provide penis elongation for at least a long time. Due to the click-on function of the sliced tubes 21, 22, a very easy attachment of the holding member 20 to the connecting member 30 is obtained. Another form of linking means for connecting the linking member 30 and the holding member 20 may be provided, for example, by a tube, which comprises a bag hole, which is the second in another embodiment (not shown). The distal end of the tube portion 50 is slid.

  In the embodiment, the third engaging means 25 is formed on the holding means 20 on the connecting means for connecting the holding means 20 to the connecting member 30, and the third engaging means 25 is the second tube portion 50. Adapted to cooperate with any of a plurality of fourth engaging means of the outer surface 56 of As a result, the first tube portion 40 is prevented from rotating with respect to the second tube portion 50, after which the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ from the second engagement means 55, 55 ′. Separation is prevented, and as a result, the first tube portion 40 is prevented from being slidable relative to the second tube portion. In this way, when the third engaging means 25 is engaged with the fourth engaging means and the holding means 20 is attached to the connecting member 30, the length of the connecting member 30 is locked.

  The third engaging means 25 is preferably a hump extending inwardly in the connecting means connecting the holding member 20 to the coupling member 30, and the fourth engaging means is preferably the second A hole formed in a line on the outer surface 56 of the tube, which is adapted for cooperation with the formation of the third engagement means.

  In another embodiment (not shown), the third engaging means 25 may be a hole formed in the inner surface of the connecting means that connects the holding member 20 to the connecting member 30, It is adapted for cooperation with a hump or protrusion formed in a line on the outer surface of the second tube member 50.

  Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the fourth engaging means is a hole formed through the second tube portion 50 from the outer side wall 56 to the inner side wall 54. As a result, the fourth engagement means also functions as the second engagement means 55.

  The third engagement means 25 is preferably formed on the inner surfaces of the sliced tube portions 21 and 22 of the holding member 20. In an advantageous embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the third engagement means 25 is a hump or protrusion formed on the inner surface of the sliced tube portions 21, 22. As shown, preferably there are four protrusions of the third engaging means 25, which correspond to the second / fourth engaging means 55 in the second tube part 50. . The retaining member 20 preferably further includes a handle 24 to facilitate pulling and / or pushing the retaining member 20 in a distal or proximal direction for certain adjustment procedures as described below. Prepare.

  Each of the sliced tube portions 21 and 22 of the holding member 20 has a first end and a second end. Preferably, the third engaging means 25 is formed in the vicinity of one of the first and second ends. As a result, a different arrangement is obtained by turning the holding member 180 °, in which the device 1 has a different length or distance between the base of the holding member 20 and the fixing means 29. This is shown by comparing FIGS. 1-4 with FIG. 5, in which the holding member is attached to the connecting member 30 to obtain one arrangement, FIG. Now the holding member is turned 180 ° with respect to the arrangement in FIGS. 1 to 4, thereby obtaining the maximum distance between the glans securing means 29 on the holding member 20 and the base member 10. This is also illustrated by FIGS. 6 and 7, in which two different directions of the holding member are shown. As a result, the overall flexibility of device adjustment has been considerably improved.

  The installation of the device 1 according to this embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 will be described with particular reference to FIG. In the first stage, the base 10 with the connecting member 30 is fixed around the root 110 of the penis 100. Then, the length of the penis 100 from the root 110 to the proximal side 121 of the glans 120 of the penis is evaluated by the user, and the length of the connecting member 30 is adjusted accordingly, as described above, as shown in FIG. By rotating the second tube 50 as indicated by arrow B, the locking position of the first tube portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50 is released, and then the second tube 50 as shown by arrow C. The tube portion 50 is slid to a desired front-rear position with respect to the first tube portion 40. Thereafter, the holding member fixing means 29 is attached around the penis 100 just behind the glans 120, and the holding member is fixed or attached to the connecting member 30, whereby the second tube part 50 is connected to the second tube part 50. The front and rear positions of one tube portion 40 are locked by the engagement between the third engagement means 20 and the fourth (second) engagement means. As described above, further adjustment of the length is provided by selection of the orientation of the holding member 20. If the adjustment of the device 1 is not accurate, an appropriate adjustment can be easily provided by removing the holding member 20 and repeating the process described above. This adjustment and readjustment is easily provided by the user himself without assistance or the use of tools with the advantageous arrangement according to the invention. Furthermore, adjustment and readjustment are easily obtained without a loose extension.

  In another embodiment (not shown), the third engagement means 25 is, for example, in the form of a hump or protrusion on the holding member 20 and the rotation of the first tube part 40 with respect to the second tube part 50. In order to prevent this, the engaging means of both the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 may cooperate. If, for example, the length of the hump in the sliced tube is one of a series of holes in the second tube 50 (to prevent longitudinal rotation of the second tube portion 50 with respect to the retainer 20). And a set of elongated slits or grooves or holes (parallel to axis A) of the inner first tube portion 40 (to prevent rotation of the first tube portion). When suitable to extend in, the releasable fixation of the first and second tube parts relative to each other is obtained in a device having only a single connecting member 30. However, this principle may also be applied to two or more connecting members 30.

  An advantageous biasing mechanism used in the device 1 for applying traction to the penis 1 will now be described with reference to FIGS.

  The biasing mechanism comprises a second spring 70, preferably a coil spring, which has a proximal end 71 and a distal end, the second spring 70 being a first tube portion. 40 and the second tube portion 50 are provided to bias the connecting member 30 in the proximal direction, that is, to bias the holding member 20 far from the base portion 10.

  The second spring 70 surrounds the rod 69 extending proximally from the first spring 60 and is located inside the first tube portion 40. The distal end 72 of the second spring preferably engages a proximally facing surface 66 of the body portion 67 of the first spring 60. Preferably, the main body 67, the elastic arms 63 and 64, the first engaging means 65, and the rod 69 are formed of one part, for example, a plastic material.

  The proximal end 71 of the second spring 70 engages the restriction 43 on the inner surface of the first tube portion 40. The restrictor 43 may be an annular protrusion on the inner surface of the first tube portion, or a set of 1 to 6 separate protrusions or humps around the inner surface of the first tube portion 40. May be provided.

  Since the first spring 60 is locked with respect to sliding relative to the second tube portion 50 (via the first engagement means 65) as described above, the bias is applied to the first tube. It is given between the part 40 and the second tube part 50.

  The proximal end 61 of the rod 69 may be adapted to a snap lock connection to lock to the first indicator piece 90. The first indicator component 90 constitutes the proximal extension of the rod 69 to the base member 10 and has a proximal end 91 and a distal end 92. The distal end 92 of the indicator component is adapted to engage the snap lock connection of the proximal end 61 of the rod 69, for example by a hump as shown in FIGS. In other embodiments, the split and hump that locks the connection between the distal end of the first indicator piece 90 and the proximal end 61 of the rod 69 may be in the opposite portion. In addition, the locking mechanism may be further utilized.

  The index tap 95 may be further provided on the index component 90.

  Since the first indicator component 90 is locked to the rod 69 and consequently locked to the second tube portion 50, the first indicator component 90 is the second tube with respect to the first tube portion 40. It becomes slidable together with the portion 50, and further functions to provide the user with information on load and bias applied by the second spring 70, as will be described below.

  The first tube part 40 is preferably connected to the base part 10 via the arm 35 and the second indicator part 80. The second indicator part has a proximal end 81 connected to the arm 35 and a distal end 82 connectable to the first tube portion 40. The second indicator part 80 is preferably connected to the first tube part 40 via a U-shaped spring having elasticity, and this spring has a hump 86, and this hump 86 is U-shaped. It is formed at the most distal end of each of a set of spring arms forming a mold spring. The U-shaped spring imparts a hump bias toward the outer side in the direction perpendicular to the axis A of the connecting member 30. The U-shaped spring elastic arm hump 86 is adapted to cooperate with a hole 87 formed in the first tube portion 40.

  When attached to the first tube portion in this manner, the second indicator piece 80 forms a proximal extension of the first tube portion and also connects to the arm 35 and to the base member 10. give.

  The second indicator part 80 is hollow and is adapted to accommodate the first indicator part 90 slidably in whole or in part.

  The second indicator component 80 is formed of a transparent material, such as a polymeric material, so that at least a portion of the first indicator component 90, such as the indicator tap 95 or at least the proximal end 91, is a second indicator portion. It becomes visible through the surface 83. The surface 83 of the second indicator portion may be formed in one or more indicators, for example, in the form of a strip or an annular protrusion or indentation 84 as shown in FIGS. Alternatively or additionally, a slit 88 may be formed through the second indicator portion 80 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the connecting member. The slit 88 may be adapted to cooperate with the indicator tap 95 of the first indicator component 90. In other embodiments (not shown), the slit 88 is provided with a transparent cover so that at least a portion of the first indicator component 90, such as the indicator tap 95 or at least the proximal end 91 of that component 90, Visible through the transparent cover.

  In an embodiment (not shown), the first indicator piece 90 may be integrally formed with the rod 69 rather than being connected via the snap locking mechanism described above.

  The biasing mechanism described above in combination with the adjustment facility described above allows the user to adjust traction on the penis 100 from 0 to 3 kg.

  While this invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, it should not be construed as being limited in any way to the examples shown. The scope of the present invention is set by the appended claims.

  The use of reference signs in the claims relating to the illustrated elements is also not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

This invention relates to the holding member for the device for applying traction to the penis.

  Many devices are known in the field of devices for penis extension. Examples of such devices are disclosed in US 4,449,521 A and US 7,276,040 B2. A common problem with these devices is that they are attached to the penis and adjusted with respect to the distance between the base portion supporting the penis root and the portion that secures or supports the penis glans. However, it is difficult and / or difficult to handle.

  US 7,276,040 B2 discloses a device for applying traction to a penis, which has a number of separate parts, these parts having a variable length, It is screwed together to adjust the distance between the glans fixed part. This is cumbersome and fine tuning of the system is difficult. Many attempts and use of various parts must be made to make fine adjustments. Needless to say that the adjustment is not very accurate, the use will be very painful for the user, or there will be no effect of the use. Many parts must be available to obtain an accurate and useful adjustment. Such elongated parts can be lost more easily.

  U.S. Pat. No. 4,449,521 discloses a device for applying traction to a penis (to support the penis during sexual intercourse rather than to provide permanent stretch), in which two telescopic rods or A tube is used to adjust the distance between the base and the glans fixed part. The two rods / tubes are fixed at a desired distance from each other by means of fixing screws. This device may provide fine tuning. However, it is very disadvantageous that the user needs to use additional tools to adjust the device. Furthermore, there is a risk that a set screw that projects laterally from the rod / tube will scratch the user, otherwise cause discomfort to the user, or stick to clothing, for example. US 4,449,521 devices are covered with a flexible material to prevent damage to body tissue. In this way, the set screw must be manipulated through a flexible material, or the material must be worn on the pants and scratch the end, etc., so that the operation of the set screw is impeded. The Thus, an improved device for applying traction to the penis is advantageous, and in particular, a more efficient and / or reliable adjustment of the distance between the base and the fixing means is advantageous. .

In this way, the length of the connecting member can be adjusted. A method of fixing the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 at desired positions will be described below.

  The distal end 52 of the second tube portion 50 can be connected to the holding member 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the distal end 52 of the second tube portion 50 is closed with a plug 53. However, this is optional. In other embodiments, the distal end may be open or formed as a closed end (not shown).

  The first spring 60 is connected to and extends from the distal end 42 of the first tube portion 40. The first spring 60 can be compressed in the radial direction, that is, can be compressed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the telescopic connecting member 30. The first spring 60 extends distally from the first tube portion 40 and into the second tube portion 50 and is slidable into the second tube portion in the manner described in detail below. Adapted to be arranged rotatably. The first spring 60 is fixed against rotation with respect to the first tube portion 40. On the other hand, the first spring 40 is slidably connected to the first tube portion 40 via the second spring 70, and preferably biases in the distal direction along the longitudinal axis A. While this is the case in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-10, it may be a freely selectable feature in other embodiments.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the first spring 60 has a body portion 61 and a U-shaped portion, which has a pair of elastic arms 63 and 64. The body part forms a connection to the first tube part 40. The pair of first engaging means 65, 65 ′ is preferably formed in the shape of a hump or a protrusion and is formed at the end of the arms 63, 64, and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction A of the connecting arm 30. Extend. The first plurality of second engaging means 55 in the form of holes is formed in a line shape on one side of the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50, and the holes cooperate with the humps. The first engagement means 65 is formed on the arm 63. The second plurality of holes 55 ′ are formed in a line shape on the other side of the side wall 54 inside the second tube portion 50 across the radial direction (on the opposite side) from the first plurality of holes 55, The hole is suitable for cooperating with the hump and forms a first engagement means 65 ′ on the arm 64.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the second engaging means 55 and 55 ′ are seven sets of holes formed to face each other on the second tube member 50. In other embodiments, there may be more or less holes depending on the length of the second tube portion 50 and the desired accuracy of adjustment. The device may also include different sets of second tubes 50 of different lengths.

  The U-shaped part of the first spring 60 biases the elastic arms 63, 64, and as a result, faces the inner side wall 54 of the second tube 50 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.

  Thus, the length of the connecting member 30 is adjusted by sliding the first tube portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50. The elasticity of the first spring 60 (ie, the arms 63, 64) forces the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ to engage the set of second engagement means 55, 55 ′, and the first The first and second engaging means 65, 65 ′, 55, 55 ′ are aligned to releasably lock the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 against sliding relative to each other. The This locking relationship is the first portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50 with sufficient force to exceed the force provided by the elasticity of the arms 63, 64 of the first spring 60 and the friction between the hump and the hole. Is released by pulling, pushing, or twisting (rotating).

  In embodiments in which the second engagement means 55, 55 'is a through-hole, the locking relationship further extends, for example, through a hole / hole forming the second engagement means 55, 55'. By using an existing pointed tool, it may be released by pushing the hump engaging the hole.

  In the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the bumps forming the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ are formed on a curved or inclined surface 68 at the outermost tip of the hump. As a result, when the first tube portion 40 is moved with respect to the second tube portion 50, the movement of the hump (first engaging means 65) opposes the compression of the spring 60 and the longitudinal direction of the connecting member 30. It becomes easy in the direction orthogonal to the axis A, that is, in the inner direction.

  In another embodiment (not shown), the humps are arranged in the interior 54 of the second tube part 50 for cooperation with the holes of the first spring 6 and these humps provide an inclined surface. And / or the hole is provided with a curved or inclined surface.

  In another embodiment, the inclined surface 68 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the connecting member 30 so that the rotation of the first and second tube portions 40, 50 relative to each other is in the radial direction of the hump 65. The movement, that is, the movement in the inner direction in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis A of the connecting member 30 is facilitated. As a result, adjustment of the length of the connecting member 30 is provided as indicated by arrows B and C in FIGS.

Forming the first engagement members 65, 65 'engages the most distal holes forming the second engagement means 55, 55', whereby the first and second The tube portions are releasably locked with respect to each other's slides. By rotating the second tube member 50 with respect to the first tube member 40 as indicated by arrow B, the hump of the first spring 60 is removed from engagement with the hole in the second tube portion 50. . This is facilitated by an inclined surface parallel to the axis A of the hump. As a result, as shown by the arrow C, the first and second tube portions 40 and 50 are slid along the axis A to adjust the length of the connecting member 30. In FIG. 7, the second tube portion 50 is slid relative to the first tube portion 40 with respect to the arrangement shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the hump of the spring 60 engages the second set of holes 55, 55 ′ when viewed from the proximal end 51 of the second tube portion 50. As a result, the connecting member 30 has been expanded in length.

It is in the form of sliced tube portions 21, 22 that are suitable for being clicked (clicked on). Thus, when the connecting member 30 is adjusted in length or distance between the base member 10 and the holding member 20, as a result, the distance between the root 110 of the penis 100 and the glans is kept constant. And placed under tension to provide penis elongation for at least a long time. Due to the click-on function of the sliced tubes 21, 22, a very easy attachment of the holding member 20 to the connecting member 30 is obtained. Another form of linking means for connecting the linking member 30 and the holding member 20 may be provided, for example, by a tube, which comprises a bag hole, which is the second in another embodiment (not shown). The distal end of the tube portion 50 is slid.

  In the embodiment, the third engaging means 25 is formed on the holding means 20 on the connecting means for connecting the holding means 20 to the connecting member 30, and the third engaging means 25 is the second tube portion 50. Adapted to cooperate with any of a plurality of fourth engaging means of the outer surface 56 of As a result, the first tube portion 40 is prevented from rotating with respect to the second tube portion 50, after which the first engagement means 65, 65 ′ from the second engagement means 55, 55 ′. Separation is prevented, and as a result, the first tube portion 40 is prevented from being slidable relative to the second tube portion. In this way, when the third engaging means 25 is engaged with the fourth engaging means and the holding means 20 is attached to the connecting member 30, the length of the connecting member 30 is locked.

  The third engaging means 25 is preferably a hump extending inwardly in the connecting means connecting the holding member 20 to the coupling member 30, and the fourth engaging means is preferably the second A hole formed in a line on the outer surface 56 of the tube, which is adapted for cooperation with the formation of the third engagement means.

  The third engagement means 25 is preferably formed on the inner surfaces of the sliced tube portions 21 and 22 of the holding member 20. In an advantageous embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the third engagement means 25 is a hump or protrusion formed on the inner surface of the sliced tube portions 21, 22. As shown, preferably there are four protrusions of the third engaging means 25, which correspond to the second / fourth engaging means 55 in the second tube part 50. . The retaining member 20 preferably further includes a handle 24 to facilitate pulling and / or pushing the retaining member 20 in a distal or proximal direction for certain adjustment procedures as described below. Prepare.

  Each of the sliced tube portions 21 and 22 of the holding member 20 has a first end and a second end. Preferably, the third engaging means 25 is formed in the vicinity of one of the first and second ends. As a result, a different arrangement is obtained by turning the holding member 180 °, in which the device 1 has a different length or distance between the base of the holding member 20 and the fixing means 29. This is shown by comparing FIGS. 1-4 with FIG. 5, in which the holding member is attached to the connecting member 30 to obtain one arrangement, FIG. Now the holding member is turned 180 ° with respect to the arrangement in FIGS. 1 to 4, thereby obtaining the maximum distance between the glans securing means 29 on the holding member 20 and the base member 10. This is also illustrated by FIGS. 6 and 7, in which two different directions of the holding member are shown. As a result, the overall flexibility of device adjustment has been considerably improved.

  The installation of the device 1 according to this embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 will be described with particular reference to FIG. In the first stage, the base 10 with the connecting member 30 is fixed around the root 110 of the penis 100. Then, the length of the penis 100 from the root 110 to the proximal side 121 of the glans 120 of the penis is evaluated by the user, and the length of the connecting member 30 is adjusted accordingly, as described above, as shown in FIG. By rotating the second tube 50 as indicated by arrow B, the locking position of the first tube portion 40 with respect to the second tube portion 50 is released, and then the second tube 50 as shown by arrow C. The tube portion 50 is slid to a desired front-rear position with respect to the first tube portion 40. Thereafter, the holding member fixing means 29 is attached around the penis 100 just behind the glans 120, and the holding member is fixed or attached to the connecting member 30, whereby the second tube part 50 is connected to the second tube part 50. The front and rear positions of one tube portion 40 are locked by the engagement between the third engagement means 20 and the fourth (second) engagement means. As described above, further adjustment of the length is provided by selection of the orientation of the holding member 20. If the adjustment of the device 1 is not accurate, an appropriate adjustment can be easily provided by removing the holding member 20 and repeating the process described above. This adjustment and readjustment is easily provided by the user himself without assistance or the use of tools with the advantageous arrangement according to the invention. Furthermore, adjustment and readjustment are easily obtained without a loose extension.

  In another embodiment (not shown), the third engagement means 25 is, for example, in the form of a hump or protrusion on the holding member 20 and the rotation of the first tube part 40 with respect to the second tube part 50. In order to prevent this, the engaging means of both the first tube portion 40 and the second tube portion 50 may cooperate. If, for example, the length of the hump in the sliced tube is one of a series of holes in the second tube 50 (to prevent longitudinal rotation of the second tube portion 50 with respect to the retainer 20). And a set of elongated slits or grooves or holes (parallel to axis A) of the inner first tube portion 40 (to prevent rotation of the first tube portion). When suitable to extend in, the releasable fixation of the first and second tube parts relative to each other is obtained in a device having only a single connecting member 30. However, this principle may also be applied to two or more connecting members 30.

  An advantageous biasing mechanism used in the device 1 for applying traction to the penis 1 will now be described with reference to FIGS.

  Since the first indicator component 90 is locked to the rod 69 and consequently locked to the second tube portion 50, the first indicator component 90 is the second tube with respect to the first tube portion 40. It becomes slidable together with the portion 50, and further functions to provide the user with information on load and bias applied by the second spring 70, as will be described below.

  The first tube part 40 is preferably connected to the base part 10 via the arm 35 and the second indicator part 80. The second indicator part has a proximal end 81 connected to the arm 35 and a distal end 82 connectable to the first tube portion 40. The second indicator part 80 is preferably connected to the first tube part 40 via a U-shaped spring having elasticity, and this spring has a hump 86, and this hump 86 is U-shaped. It is formed at the most distal end of each of a set of spring arms forming a mold spring. The U-shaped spring imparts a hump bias toward the outer side in the direction perpendicular to the axis A of the connecting member 30. The U-shaped spring elastic arm hump 86 is adapted to cooperate with a hole 87 formed in the first tube portion 40.

  When attached to the first tube portion in this manner, the second indicator piece 80 forms a proximal extension of the first tube portion and also connects to the arm 35 and to the base member 10. give.
